1982 Time/Life leather-bound hardcover, John Davis Billings. First published more than 100 years ago, Hardtack And Coffee is John Billings' absorbing first-person account of the everyday life of a U.S. Army soldier during the Civil War. Billings attended a reunion of Civil War veterans in 1881 that brought together a group of survivors whose memories and stories of the war compelled him to write this account. - Amazon

From the Back Cover:

Most histories of the Civil War focus on battles and top brass. Hardtack and Coffee is one of the few to give a vivid, detailed picture of what ordinary soldiers endured every day--in camp, on the march, at the edge of a booming, smoking hell.

About the Author:

John D. Billings was born in Canton, MA in 1842. In 1862, he enlisted in the 10th Massachusetts Artillery and mustered out in 1865.
